About the Artwork:

Artist Mara Lonner created a multilayered 17 feet by 43 feet long mural and wall relief to welcome visitors to the Community Center at San Angelo Park. Wrapping around two walls, the artwork invites viewers to follow the imagery as it continues around the outside of the building. Several painted steel cut panels accent the mural. Motifs in the design recall avocado and oak tree branches, leaves, fruit, flora and decorative wrought iron elements found in traditional Mexican casitas as well as the building architecture.
